Shipping time is 1 month for all of the products on Aliexpress

[Beka84]

The shipping times for all of the products that i want dropshipp to Sweden is 1 month in Aliexpress. Or at least that what it says on the Aliexpress

Should i contact suppliers to be sure if their shipping times are really 1 month? How people dropshipp if the shipping times are 1 month?

Hi @Beka84,

Thank you for getting in touch. If you're looking to dropship products from AliExpress suppliers, it's good to check shipping costs and estimated delivery times before you import them into your store. Once you're viewing a product on AliExpress, you can select the country you'd like the item to be shipped to:

This will then display the cheapest shipping rate available for your country, along with the estimated shipping time. If you click the "More options" button then you will see which other shipping rates are available. There is often other rates to choose from that have shorter shipping times, albeit with an additional cost.

I will say that it can be difficult to find products that can be delivered within a reasonable timeframe (e.g. 1-2 weeks) from China to countries in Europe or North America, and it'll require some research from yourself to determine if it's feasible for you to sell products on your store that are sourced from AliExpress and shipped to Europe.

An alternative option would be to look for suppliers based in Europe, as they'll likely offer far more competitive shipping times even if the cost of the products is higher. To learn more, I'd recommend checking out the choosing suppliers section on the Shopify Help Center and our comprehensive blog post on sourcing products for your store.
